[quote author="Colin Williams" date="1255144895"]1.) Don't put your stylesheets in the views folder (you application files should be outside the root anyway)
2.) Use absolute paths like "/style.css" leaving the domain out of it
3.) Get over the "pain" of typing out 30+ char strings

Hi Colin,
I failed to understand why the CSS file should not be in the views folder.
 
With each new application I have adopted the programming style of having a common MY_Controller.php but renamed to MY_APPPATH.php to avoid confusion. One of the functions in my common controller is:
 
./libaries/MY_[b]APPPATH.php[/b]

Code:
function  load_partials( $data=array() )

  {

    $data['doctype'] = doctype();      

    $data['header']  = $this->load->view('_header', $data, TRUE);

    ...

    ...

    return $data;

  }

 
 
./views/_header.php // prefixed with an underscore to denote a partial view

Code:
&lt;link 

     type='text/css' 

     href='&lt;?php echo APPPATH ?&gt;views/style_04.css' 

     rel='stylesheet' 

     media='all'

  /&gt;

 
 

 
./views/v_mainview.php // prefixed with v_ to denote a view page

Code:
&lt;?php echo $doctype ?&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

  &lt;?php echo $header ?&gt;

  &lt;style type='text/css'&gt;

    div {border:dotted 0px #f00}

  &lt;/style&gt;

&lt;head&gt;   

&lt;body

 ...

 ...

 ...

&lt;/body

&lt;/html&gt;

 
 
edit: added view
